Origin

Established as the Continuing Education subcommittee of Resources Section's Collection Management and Development Committee. In 1991, CMDS established the Continuing Education Committee and Education for Collection Development Committee, which merged in 1997 to form the Education Committee. With the 2010 reorganization of CMDS to CMS, the committee was renamed Continuing Education Committee.
